In a CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernel, synchronize_rcu_expedited()
acquires the ->exp_funnel_mutex in rcu_preempt_state, then invokes
synchronize_sched_expedited, which acquires the ->exp_funnel_mutex in
rcu_sched_state. There can be no deadlock because rcu_preempt_state
->exp_funnel_mutex acquisition always precedes that of rcu_sched_state.
But lockdep does not know that, so it gives false-positive splats.
This commit therefore associates a separate lock_class_key structure
with the rcu_sched_state structure's ->exp_funnel_mutex, allowing
lockdep to see the lock ordering, avoiding the false positives.

The grace-period kthread sleeps waiting to do a force-quiescent-state

One of the requirements on RCU grace periods is that if there is a
causal chain of operations that starts after one grace period and
ends before another grace period, then the two grace periods must
be serialized. There has been (and might still be) code that relies
on this, for example, certain types of reference-counting code that
does a call_rcu() within an RCU callback function.
This requirement is why there is an smp_mb() at the end of both
synchronize_sched_expedited() and synchronize_rcu_expedited().
However, this is the only smp_mb() in these functions, so it would
be nicer to consolidate it into rcu_exp_gp_seq_end(). This commit
does just that.

This commit creates rcu_exp_gp_seq_start() and rcu_exp_gp_seq_end() to
bracket an expedited grace period, rcu_exp_gp_seq_snap() to snapshot the
sequence counter, and rcu_exp_gp_seq_done() to check to see if a full
expedited grace period has elapsed since the snapshot. These will be
applied to synchronize_rcu_expedited(). These are defined in terms of
underlying rcu_seq_start(), rcu_seq_end(), rcu_seq_snap(), rcu_seq_done(),
which will be applied to _rcu_barrier().
One reason that this commit doesn't use the seqcount primitives themselves
is that the smp_wmb() in those primitive is insufficient due to the fact
that expedited grace periods do reads as well as writes. In addition,
the read-side seqcount primitives detect a potentially partial change,
where the expedited primitives instead need a guaranteed full change.

Sequentially stopping the CPUs slows down expedited grace periods by
at least a factor of two, based on rcutorture's grace-period-per-second
rate. This is a conservative measure because rcutorture uses unusually
long RCU read-side critical sections and because rcutorture periodically
quiesces the system in order to test RCU's ability to ramp down to and
up from the idle state. This commit therefore replaces the stop_one_cpu()
with stop_one_cpu_nowait(), using an atomic-counter scheme to determine
when all CPUs have passed through the stopped state.

Now that synchronize_sched_expedited() have a mutex, it can use simpler
work-already-done detection scheme. This commit simplifies this scheme
by using something similar to the sequence-locking counter scheme.
A counter is incremented before and after each grace period, so that
the counter is odd in the midst of the grace period and even otherwise.
So if the counter has advanced to the second even number that is
greater than or equal to the snapshot, the required grace period has
already happened.

The synchronize_sched_expedited() currently invokes try_stop_cpus(),
which schedules the stopper kthreads on each online non-idle CPU,
and waits until all those kthreads are running before letting any
of them stop. This is disastrous for real-time workloads, which
get hit with a preemption that is as long as the longest scheduling
latency on any CPU, including any non-realtime housekeeping CPUs.
This commit therefore switches to using stop_one_cpu() on each CPU
in turn. This avoids inflicting the worst-case scheduling latency
on the worst-case CPU onto all other CPUs, and also simplifies the
code a little bit.
Follow-up commits will simplify the counter-snapshotting algorithm
and convert a number of the counters that are now protected by the
new ->expedited_mutex to non-atomic.

And a few various variables and flags have also been updated.
This has been sitting in linux-next for some time, and I have not heard
a single complaint about this rename breaking anything. Mostly because
these functions, variables and structures are mostly internal to the
tracing system and are seldom (if ever) used by anything external to that.

rcu_bh_data, rcu_sched_data and rcu_preempt_data are never used outside
kernel/rcu/tree.c and thus can be made static.
Doing so fixes a section mismatch warning reported by clang when
building LLVMLinux with -Wsection, because these variables were declared
in .data..percpu and defined in .data..percpu..shared_aligned since
commit 11bbb235c2 ("rcu: Use DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED for
rcu_data").

Currently, synchronize_sched_expedited() will call synchronize_sched()
if there is danger of counter wrap. But if configuration says to
always do expedited grace periods, synchronize_sched() will just
call synchronize_sched_expedited() right back again. In theory,
the old expedited operations will complete, the counters will
get back in synch, and the recursion will end. But we could
easily run out of stack long before that time. This commit
therefore makes synchronize_sched_expedited() invoke the underlying
wait_rcu_gp(call_rcu_sched) instead of synchronize_sched(), the same as
all the other calls out from synchronize_sched_expedited().
This bug was introduced by commit 1924bcb025 (Avoid counter wrap in
synchronize_sched_expedited()).

This commit adds grace number and command-flags information to the
"kthread starved" message that is sometimes printed out as part of
RCU CPU stall warnings. This message is caused by the corresponding
RCU grace-period kthread not having run for at least two seconds, and
this added information can be helpful when debugging.

The rcu_gp_kthread_wake() refuses to do a wakeup unless at least
one of the ->gp_flags bits are set, which normally will not be the
case when the last quiescent state is reported. This results in
up to a 3-jiffy delay given default Kconfig settings. This commit
therefore has rcu_report_qs_rsp() set RCU_GP_FLAG_FQS before invoking
rcu_gp_kthread_wake() in order to force a more immediate wakeup at
grace-period end, thus reducing grace-period latencies.
